Ops forgot you need to use mfastboot

Hey man,

Btw we are neighbors .

Secondly I dont know how you managed to skip flashing the system img and it works! but I do know why you had this error. Will edit my original post cause I copied and pasted the commands from another site and forgot to edit them.

See you cant fastboot flash big images, our device is limited to 450 max size I believe.

So download this mfastboot from here and use it instead of ABD and fastboot/Minimal ADB and fastboot :

https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B5jlU9JnLAZGbVU0UzJ3N3p4X2M/view?pref=2&pli=1

then use same commands but replace

fastboot flash

with

mfastboot flash

mfastboot can flash large images and split large 2GB files into chunks. In theory you can use your preferred ADB and fastboot that is already installed for everything, however when you reach the large system image, use mfastboot, or from now on use mfastboot for everything instead.

Btw I am interested if you revisited this in the future a couple of questions for Q.A purposes.

1) After flashing B170 do you have invalid sim error ?did it get resolved when you update to B188?

2) Is your about phone shows the correct current Version?

3) Did you wipe everything using TWRP first?

4) Did you ever flash the balong fix?

5) What was your original build that came with the device if you recall?

Thanks.
[P8lite General] ZOHERANDRIOD:
Finally mm

Dear Emad

-- Great Job Man you have the best post

-- There is no invalid sim error ever That because i tried to flash my device before by many files hehehehe and my current firmware its B170, but in the first time during startup after I flash B170 the device give a massage like an emergency call only , but after 30 second while the phone startup perfectly the massage is gone ... and the network operator its backed like normally ..after that i flash B188 like your way in your Original Post ...i flashed it without any problem then i flashed B551 without going to B524 like your way the phone is fresh and Im in marshmallow now without any problem..

-- Yes I wiped everything by twrp

-- Yes I flashed the balong fix before but i fixed the wrong information bugs by another file.. I uplode the fix file yesterday in my post in page # 40 .

-- about my original build it's B160

Anything else I'm here hourly

Best Regards'

Just to speak about my experience, I received the update B550 by OTA, I click on download, then the phone has been updated on its own during the night.

Strange thing cause I had TWRP 3 and root.

Now both has disappeared.

I have to root again and put TWRP also

Hi there. I have found that the dropbox files are missing, do you perhaps have another link we can use?

[P8lite General] emad_ramlawi:
NO need for balong fix update, just use this method and you will be alright :

1) Format your device, unlock Boot-loader, flash TWRP recovery 3.0.2.0 thanks to [MENTION=7354786]XePeleato[/MENTION] :

https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B3A...p=docslist_api

Wipe everything sans the SD card

Then go back in TWRP and select reboot to Bootloader

2) Flash B170 USING mfastboot B170 by extracting the Update.app to 6 images:

mfastboot download = https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B5jlU9JnLAZGbVU0UzJ3N3p4X2M/view?pref=2&pli=1

download-c.huawei.com/download/downloadCenter?downloadId=56984&version=180573&sit eCode=es

mfastboot flash boot boot.img

mfastboot flash recovery recovery.img

mfastboot flash system system.img

mfastboot flash cache cache.img

mfastboot flash cust cust.img

mfastboot flash userdata userdata.img

Then reboot : mfastboot reboot

** See you cant fastboot flash big images, our device is limited to 450 max size I believe.

** mfastboot can flash large images and split large 2GB files into chunks. In theory you can use your preferred ADB and fastboot that is already installed ** for everything, however when you reach the large system image, use mfastboot, or from now on use mfastboot for everything instead.

3) Update to B188 and that will resolve all your issues, using Update local normal update but

DO NOT COPY AS AN UPDATE.APP, move it to SD card dload folder as an update.zip

mega:///#!D5FCzSCY!LXQegnIClkxMKjUkCG3c2WT1aoUR2gRb7Rn_zho xW10

**Note B170 might give you invalid sim, simply update to B188 which IMO is the stablest ROM for 5.0.1, and that will resolve all your issues

4) Update to MM B550 stable channel :

download-c.huawei.com/download/downloadCenter?downloadId=78426&version=312720&sit eCode=es

copy it the UPDATE.APP again to a dload folder's in your p8 SD

after simply with your dialer type *#*#2846579#*#* when the menu was open,click on software update and wait.

renaming Balong in the emui build.prop to match your (updated) fw version sounds like an easier option.

Broken link

Hello,i want to ask i this will work with C185B130(Phone using in Mauritius) ?And after flashing the 'MM' will the network work will lock ? Will i be able to use "sim card" or not ?

And there are three 'Broken link' :( 1-To fix balong...

2-B170 Firmware

3-B181 Update...

can i get the link please ? :)

and can we have the Official MM ?

while i read that the 'Beta' (It may contain bugs that can affect the phone’s stability causing random reboots, broken apps and rarely data loss. You proceed entirely at your own risk!)
[P8lite General] VladHD:
1. You need to flash b170,no need for b181

2.Service network is working

3. For balong - you have a folder custom or vendor. Install update.app from that folder via local update.

In order to go to mm you need first to flash b49(single sim) or b52(dual sim) via fastboot then go to b170/b171 via local update then go to b551 via local update.
[P8lite General] shenveer:
When do i have to fix the balong ? after flashing the B052 ?

[P8lite General] derei:
Hy, I want to try it on a Single-SIM device originally with ALE-L21C432B183

I started preparations according to the tutorial from the first post of this topic, but I found something confusing. Is about the Vendor directory.

"... (don't forget to install the two folder's update and vendor for don't have the balong bug )extract the files with the huwaei firmware extractor ,and copy and past in your adb folder(in c:/programme/Minimal ADB and Fastboot)

the 'BOOT','CUST','RECOVERY','SYSTEM',and flash it by adb"

As I see, there is nothing flashed from "update.app" that is in vendor directory. So, what I should extract from it and what to do with the extracted files?

Also, is there a quicker / less troubling method for this?

I want to do this installation because I kind of screwed-up the factory firmware and i need something in replacement, so I figured that I can move to EMUI 4 with this chance.

Thanks.

[P8lite General] amageek:
First thing first :have you unlocked your bootloader?

If yes, only then continue...

C432bxxx? Yes you can update it to marshmallow... Try to download b170 (dual sim) and then upgrade it. From there, you should be able to download b550 (Marshmallow dual sim version) and then to b564 (the latest one).

Upgarding process:

1) after downloading the required version, extract the zip file.

2) copy/cut the update.app file in internal memory /external card in a new folder named "dload".

3) place the "dload" folder in the root of your memory/card.. (the one you aee when you plug your mobile in the laptop, with all bluetooth, download, bla bla folders)

4) dial *#*#2846579#*#* and go to "Sd card upgrade ", select ok and local upgate ahould begin

5) wait for few minutes and you're good to go...

P. S. If you cannot directly go to b170 from your current version, then go to b052 first..

Hi everyone.

I have ALE-L21C432B170.

Bootloader unlocked & rooted.

Without TWRP.

When I start updating B188 via system from dload folder, I always get update failure at 8%.

My question: Can I flash B188 and after that Marshmallowvia ADB with unpacked from update.app files? Or will I get insta brick ???

Or maybe it can be done without 188, going directly to Marshmallow:confused:
[P8lite General] sokkoban:
You already answer that question :)(view the colored quote) :)

Make full unroot. Update over B188 via local update(Settings=>Update=>Local update)

Phone must be NOT connected with USB. Update.app no need to unrar
[P8lite General] Vsx06:
And most important thing: Thank You for fast reply.

Got some unexpected error :(

Going into SuperSU -> Full unroot & cleanup -> uninstalling infinitely :(

Solved - had cable connected.

Updated to 188 and now marshmallowing :)

/EDIT

Marshmallow update failure from b188.

update.zip from dload folder & update.app gives me failure in emui

Can't think of anything else beside flashing mm as unpacked img files...

Unroot means removing super user, not locking bootloader....

If u have unlocked bootloader, it can only help You.

IMO U can't lock it again.

Go SuperSU -> Settings -> Full Unroot & Cleaning

So, I tried updating b188 to mm with emui updater(update.zip & update.app), emui forced update (vol+ vol- pwr) & adb shell.

Before factory reset & cache cleaning and after full wipe.

Have you make all the steps of the tutorial? Downgrade is mandatory for can use the beta build marshmallow's.

[MENTION=6212071]dkonect[/MENTION] I successfully upgraded my ALE-L21 C185130 to Marshmallow B524 with your guidance. Thanks alot.

It is working fine. Anyone who wants to try MM on B130 should follow these steps carefully:

-Your device must not be rooted.

-Your devices bootloader must be unlocked.

-Download the B052 rom and flash it (Link given in opening post)

-Download step2 file and install as Local update to remove balong.

-Download B170 firmware install it via Huawei Update (in my case B170 was available in OTA update)

-Download B188 firmware file and use it as Local update (you have to update via update.ZIP not update.APP)

-Download B524 firmware file and use it as local update (you have to update via update.ZIP not update.APP)
[P8lite General] dkonect:
But why not update.app ?

It's the official way to upgrade.

Push the update.app in a folder named dload and use the built-in Updater.

Also you can flash all the firmware needs by adb but it's most easy for people who are not used with ADB.
[P8lite General] zia1288:
I don't know the reason for that. But what I have observed that .zip files which have online update.app file are supposed to be installed by UPDATE.APP while some .zip files have extra folders with update.app file like system, Meta inf etc. they are supposed to be installed as .zip not as .app.

My friend installed one such file via update.app (it had system folder etc), he bricked it.
[P8lite General] DarwinHQ:
i did it all even i got the stock rom for my ALE-L21 V100R001C185B120 and flashed it to start on clean firmware and then downgrade to B052 using flash all.bat and other steps and every thing until B170 when i update to B188 it success but it still B170 in about phone could be this is the problem? if i continue to B524 i get this bootlop

what if i used B171 instead of B170 after that i update to B188 can i pass to marshmallow?

edit: and yeah i did factory reset and wip cash still the same
[P8lite General] dkonect:
Your answer is in your questions.

You have to use the b052 and the B170, and B188 and the B524, not flash the b130 before.

For start clearly, just make a factory reset and awipe cache in the stock recovery.

I have try with b171 and got bootloop.

It's why you have to take attention.

I have try all the build I have find and only works with the files who's are in the OP.

By chance today, I have seen, not all people was like this.

You have to extract and push the files who's in the zip to the dload folder, not the zip himself
